This is a mystery/drama movie which becomes a thriller movie in the second half. It's watchable and entertaining. There are no pace problems, it's not boring, it keeps your interest, there are some (not great, not bad) twists which i didn't see them coming. If you are in the mood for a movie as it was described, you will enjoy it.

However, it's flawed. I couldn't believe the things that happened, don't look for plausibility here. The ending is satisfying but it doesn't make much sense. The movie is creating a good atmosphere in the first half but, in the second half, it is losing steam. It's still watchable and kinda intense, but it could have been better.

Overall, this is not a MUST SEE movie and there are many better movies to recommend, but i didn't regret for watching this. It's slightly above mediocrity, enjoyable and not dumb.

If you're looking for high-action, big-explosive Hollywood - this movie is not for you. If you're looking for an interesting story, with a few twist, where you might have to use your brain a bit (it's not crazy difficult to figure out) than I think you'll enjoy this one.

Written in Spanish, with some small amounts of French mixed in, they've done a great job at translating it over for us English only speakers. It's actually dubbed over!! If I wanted to read an entire movie, I'd just read a book.. right?

RECOMMEND: Definitely give it a try. You're not going to find much else out there better than this. Not really a horror movie (a little bit of torture) mostly thriller, edge-of-your-seat kind of stuff. Enjoy!

I'll be honest, this movie is nothing special.

The only two great things I would like to point out are:

• The plot idea on which the film is based, which is remarkably original, although it is surrounded by events that are anything but original, sometimes almost cliché. Nothing astonishing, but it does his job, and that's enough.

• The direction, which manages to keep the viewer on their toes when necessary. Climax moments are well sustained.

Everything else here is mediocre. Some sequences are literally facepalm, while others flow well, and take you to the end of the movie. Some things remain unexplained, and that creates some plot holes. The ending is a bit hasty, though.

Well this was a pleasant surprise. Was flicking through Netflix and this movie came up. Went in not knowing anything about it. Kept me riveted and the storyline was pretty good & decently acted.

A couple driving home happen upon a young child stranded in the road. She's taken to hospital with kidney problems. No parents are located, the child isn't responsive and doesn't talk much. The couple foster her short term to aid her recovery and then little by little light is thrown upon her past & the mystery is uncovered largely by the foster mum.

It's rated horror but it's definitely thriller/suspense.

No pun intended - and yes I understand if you have issues with the movie. With certain depictions (dramatic and otherwise) - or (re)actions of the main characters. Yes you will have to suspend your disbelief! Quite a lot - and it is putting it mildly to be honest.

That all being said, the movie will reward your patience in the end. Because there is more to it than you may think there is. And there will be twists and turns waiting for you (not all marked with chalk - well I had to, didn't I?).

So while you may cringe and pull out a few hairs - try to remember that especially in horror, people have to do certain things for other things to happen ... also there are multiple explanations to many things ... sometimes you may not even be thinking of the one that is the truest ... you may not feel it is, but the acting is more than decent. It is the characters that may annoy you ... don't blame the actors. Still really well made overall and with a finale that is able to sway your mind ... and twist it too.
